The New York Giants’ defense was one of the league’s worst in 2018. The Giants were poor against both the run and the pass. Big Blue allowed 252.8 passing yards per game (23rd in the league) and 118.6 rushing yards per game (20th in the league).
Much of the blame for the Giants’ poor defensive blame has been placed upon the shoulders of the linebacker corps. The Giants have had a poor linebacker corps for years now. Fortunately, it appears that the Giants have found some solid, young talent at the linebacker position.
